CANicoll Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 On 12/7/2019 at 7:55 PM, Jennings Heilig said: Here's the bottom line (and I haven't read a single post in this thread, nor am I going to, btw, but I already know what 90% of them say): Build your model any way you want to. If you believe the factory finished 1944 wing was smooth as a satin baby's butt, finish your model that way. If you believe a 1944 wing had visible panel lines and/or rivets, build your model that way. NOBODY, and I mean **NOBODY** is likely to have their opinion on this changed, regardless of any evidence one way or the other. Jennings, I had saved somewhere the drawings you had that showed where the wings were puttied but now cannot find where I stuck them. The result of my (in)famous filing system. I'm sure I will find them in 2022 or there abouts. Would you mind reposting your diagrams or send them to me in a private message? Thank you!

Radub Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Jennings must amend his drawing to better reflect the truth. Read this thread. I repeat what I have said before: look at all photos, look at all existing aircraft for how the wings actually looked. Radu nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever disputed the NAA document! Your "interpretation" of the NAA document is not entirely right. You should also look at all photos, including those posted in this thread. Read the thread. It has been proven (and accepted even by the OP) that some of the panel lines that you marked as "filled" in your drawing have never been filled. You value accuracy, so please look at all the data.

Radu Hey Radu, By any chance do you have a diagram showing the puttied areas? Or a correction to Jennings' drawing? I'm a day away from working on my Mustang's wings so this is why I asked the question in the first place. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice to you is to look at all photos, including those posted in this thread. My own personal advice (and please feel free to ignore it!) is to coat the wings with a couple of generous coatings of a 50/50 mix of aluminium and light grey paint to simulate the lacquer. Panel lines stubbornly insisted on showing through the putty and you can see them in wartime photos if you are ready to see them. I do not want to "touch" Jennings' drawing. It is his duty to set the record straight and he should! Radu CANicoll and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it was Jennings who chose to revive it a few hours ago by re-posting his drawing. Radu Edited April 1, 2020 by Radub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Sorry to start the mess again, but thanks for the info Jennings and Radu. Hope everyone is well and stays well. Chris Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjones726 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Jennings, Thanks for reposting your drawing. I am planning a SAAF F-51 during Korea. I have a lot of info to sift through on wing appearance. While it may not be 100% accurate it is close enough to get me started. I can tweak it as I see fit during my build and that's what is important to me. v/r, Rob John1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't "revive" it - I simply posted a link to an image that someone had asked for. Jesus. If this is that important to you, why don't you do your own illustration and post it? And lay off the whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We're loathed to do it. Whichever way you want to reproduce the wing panels on a Mustang is contained within this thread, so therefore a personal choice. I'm flummoxed if there's anything further to be said on the subject.
